I know my two cats only respond to their name, only when they feel like it, which is not too often, and I doubt it is because I called them! I mean, I might get a twitch of the ear, when they hear their name, but as far as, running up to me, like a dog, this has never happened.
I wish they would come running! The only time they come pouncing forward is when it is time to eat, or better yet, it is treat time. Even when, we are int he midst of playing, they will just stop whenever they feel like it. No amount of teasing with a toy will get their interest again. When they are done, they are done!
I am wondering, if anyone does have a cat that actually comes running up, when you call out to them? If so, you are pretty lucky!
